The Power of Thought, Word and Deed
3 Basic tips for enlightenment
Every thought has a physical response. Changing the words you use in thought and communication, will actually change your sense of reality.
Do you wish to live a life of purpose and meaning — a life of wisdom?
No matter what Spiritual Practice you choose to create for yourself, the use of certain words and phrases will influence the social, emotional, and intellectual experiences you have. This will set the fundamental patterns of your life.
An ordinary person, one who has no concept of the introspective life, will use ordinary and common language of survival. This is often a language defined by expectation, regret, fear, anger, lust, greed, vanity and fulfilling short term wants.
An individual who has been drawn to the Path, will create and use a proactive and specialized language, as a tool for creating an extraordinary way of being and living.
In spite of how it may appear on the surface, this specializd choice of words is not some exercise in elitism. Every one of us will be ordinary at times and extraordinary at other times. Yet, among all of us, there are some who are on a journey to be extraordinary as often as possible. For these individuals, the language they choose to use, and the community they create or choose to become part of, will ultimately define how ordinary or extraordinary the Spiritual Practice they create will be.
The more specialized your Practice is, and the clearer the intention you have, the more specialized the language you use will need to be.
The Language of Becoming Awakened
If you have not chosen a Wisdom or Spiritual Path, and are a common thinker, it is automatic to unconsciously behave without concern for clarity of thought and spiritual intention.
You are likely to act out general social norms in your daily life, and do so habitually. Here, you will only change your behavior to match changes in general social norms. You are also, not likely to be concerned with moral or ethical dilemmas, and will seldom examine the meaning of your life.
You are likely to question little and have concern for less.
On the Wisdom Path, you will be drawn to consciously choose a “Wisdom Language”, avoiding specific words and phrases such as would, could, should, try, maybe — in order to accentuate your Practice.
With this new approach to language, you will seldom do things habitually. Rather you will make conscious choices to do those things that serve your Practice. Part of such a Practice will also require you to be concerned with moral or ethical dilemmas. In this Practice, you will often examine the meaning of your life. With all of this, comes a level of inner awareness and authentic wisdom. Humans have a fundamental need for wisdom — harmony, balance, and rhythm — and have a natural appreciation for these when they are present.
The Takeaway
The effective use of language can be transformational for creating, experiencing, and maintaining harmony, balance. and rhythm. To apply specialized language as a part of your Practice, you must find, or create, a specialized internal language that transcends the limitations of words. One of the best places to begin this practice is in the creation and experiencing of art in all of its forms.
Art is the practice of expressing feelings, thoughts and observations. In your Practice, you may achieve a deep understanding of something or the message conveyed in something by seeing, hearing, touching it, or interacting with it in some unique way related to creativity.
